Summary
editDescriptionRP1357 p43 Ballistic return capsule (Raduga) during final descent to Earth.svg |
Figure 1-27. Ballistic return capsule (Raduga) during final descent to Earth. Return payload capability when equipped with Raduga (“rainbow”) ballistic return capsule (figure 1-27). The Russians use this capsule to return small, valuable payloads from Mir. It was named Raduga largely for marketing purposes. The capsule is carried in the Progress-M dry cargo compartment. At the beginning of Raduga’s return to Earth, the Progress-M completes its deorbit burn. At an altitude of about 120 km, the capsule separates. |
